Chapter 280: The Fuso Warring States Period Begins
On the main hall of the Fusang Palace, there are the coffins of the Pingfu Mountain Ape and his eldest son Pingfu Instantaneous, the ranks, and the whole hall is hung with white yarn, the coffin and the table in front of the row are placed with all kinds of offerings, and the white-clothed palace maids next to the coffin are constantly putting paper money in the brazier of the memorial service, and the people who come to mourn are endless, whether these people are sincere or false, the family members and daughters of the Pingfu Mountain Ape kneeling on the side of the coffin, but they are always like machines, and the people who have always come to mourn continue to salute, However, the eyes blocked by the white filial piety hat revealed a different light.

Pingfu Mountain Ape has a total of five sons, the eldest son Pingfu Instantaneous, from the day he was born, he was canonized as the prince by Pingfu Mountain Ape, and now, he and his father Pingfu Mountain Ape together, quietly lying in this cold coffin, the second son of Pingfu Mountain Ape is called Pingfu Sasaki, the third son is called Pingfu Tetsuo, the fourth son is Pingfu Kameshou, and the fifth son is Pingfu Kogoro, and the first five sons are the most favored concubine of Pingfu Mountain Ape gave birth to him last year, this year is only one year old, and the old man has a son Pingfu Mountain Ape, is extremely fond of this concubine who has just given birth to a son for him and this son who has not been born for a long time, but with the death of the old man of the mountain ape, whether his newborn son and his concubine can save their lives are two different things.
"Lord Oda, His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both died in the sky, the second prince served Sasaki and the third prince served Tetsuo, and when they fought against Genji, they made countless achievements, and there are many cronies in the army, I am afraid that these two will make trouble for the final landing of the throne, but those of us who are big names can't stand on the wrong side because of temporary emotional problems, otherwise we won't have anything to live by." Outside the main hall, the daimyo who had finished worshipping the ancestor stood together in twos and threes, waiting for the next worship event, and this passage was whispered by Takeda Hyotaro, a daimyo in the Kai region, to Kenji Oda, a daimyo in the Ocho region
However, Kenji Oda himself is an old fritter, so naturally he will not respond to Takeda Hyotaro's words accordingly, but pretends to be dazzled and deaf, sick, and looks like he is dying, and says to Takeda Hyotaro: "Ahem, cough, Takeda Daimyo-sama, the old man you just said only heard a rough idea, let's be honest, the old man's body is already getting worse day by day, maybe in a few days he will go to heaven with His Majesty the Emperor, and as for what you said, alas, That's all about the young people, and the old people don't participate, and they can't participate anymore. After speaking, Oda Kenji stretched out his hand slightly, and let his entourage help the trembling self to a small corner to rest, and as he walked, he whispered to the entourage who was holding him: "Immediately send a message to the territory, let them step up their troops and horses, and hurry up to prepare for war, our territory is relatively close to the Fujiwara region where the imperial family is located, and once the two of them start to fight, they will inevitably take the lead in winning us over, take refuge in the two of them, and give their brothers pawns, It's better for us to sharpen our knives quickly, lest they can't win us over, and then by the way, the youngest son of the mountain ape, Heifu Kogoro, will get our territory, Middle-earth is not an ancient saying that two tigers fight, there must be an injury, and one tiger is injured, and the other tiger is probably not much better, once the two of them are not good, we can immediately support the Heifu Kogoro to register as the emperor, and then we can hold high the banner of justice, and the narrow son of heaven will order the princes, The justifiable crusade does not return to our great name. ”
"The adults are high, and the small ones will immediately arrange for someone to send the news back to China."
And daimyo like Kenji Oda are naturally very popular, and the Daimyo Date Seishiro of the Mutsu region, the Daimyo Mogami Tengsho of the Dewa region, and the Daimyo Kamibin Yosuke of the Echigo region, these three daimyo are located in the northernmost part and are the farthest away from the center of the whirlpool in Kyoto, and the three daimyo have formed a military-strategic alliance, ready to send troops south at any time to get a piece of the pie for the sake of the world.
Great Song, Bianliang
"Master." The red candle above Zhao Xu's dragon case flashed, and the shadow was already kneeling in front of Zhao Xu's dragon case.
"How's things going?" Zhao Xu said as he continued to lower his head and read the folds in his hand.
"Returning to the master, among all the daimyo of Fuso Country, the head of the Tosa Daimyo Sect in our country, Showa Kamanaka, Okayama Waijiro, has clearly expressed his support for the second son of Heifu Yama Saru, Heifu Sasaki, as the emperor, and the Yayun daimyo Mori Yifu has made it clear that he wants to support Heifu Tetsuo as the emperor, and as for the other daimyos, they have not clearly stated their attitude, but many daimyo have formed military alliances, but the current forces have not shown any signs of sending troops, and they have been maintained at a delicate balance point for the time being, However, if the entire country of Fuso is to fall into war again, I am afraid that it will take a while longer. ”
"They don't need to wait for this time, you go and help them." Zhao Xu continued to pick up the red pen that was put aside and began to review the folds.
"Yes, my subordinates have written it down." With that, the shadow disappeared into the imperial study with a gust of wind.
After the shadow left, Zhao Xu stopped the red pen in his hand, stayed quietly for a moment, raised his head and said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi." ”
"The slave is here, what does Your Majesty command?" Xiaodouzi bowed to Zhao Xu and said
"Go and bring me Lu Junyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Shihai, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Zheng Junyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Iron Tiger of the CIA."
"The slave obeys."
After a while, Lu Junyi, Liu Shihai, Zheng Junyan and Tiehu came to the imperial study together, bowed to Zhao Xu, and then sat down under Zhao Xu.
After the four of them sat down, Zhao Xu said to the four: "Since the death of the Fuso Kingdom since the death of the Heifu Mountain Ape, the daimyo of various territories in its country have invariably begun to make all kinds of small moves, and at the same time, between the second son of the Heifu Mountain Ape and the third son of the Heifu Tetsuo, they have also begun to start a constant war of words around the topic of the emperor's heir, and around the Tosa Daimyo clan in Fuso Kyoto, the Daimyo Okayama clan in Kamanaka, and the Daimyo Mori clan of Yasuun, have made it clear who they are loyal to. Among the other daimyos, except for the centrists who are still waiting, the rest are the ambitious factions who are constantly fighting against horses, but according to my plan, they will soon move away from the low-level quarrels of war of words and then turn into a fight to the death on the battlefield. ”
"Are we going to send troops to intervene in the fight between them?" Lu Junyi said to Zhao Xu.
"No, why should we get involved in their fight, it doesn't seem to do us any good, but I am saddened by their fight, the war is sad, the war is terrible, the sad thing is that my soldiers don't have enough weapons and armor to fight against the enemies who are constantly slaughtering their brothers and sisters, the people, and the horror is that when the smell of the other party's food wafts in the wind, my side can only smell the fragrant food and endure the hunger in the belly, Looking at the continuous suffering of the people of Fusang, in my heart, I really felt a sense of sadness for the people of Fusang, even if the suffering of other countries came, I had to help them. Zhao Xu's words of fake compassion were so touching and tear-jerking that he almost believed himself, which was true.
The four ministers present naturally cooperated with Zhao Xu to keep crying and wiping away tears, and the performance was called a reality, if a stranger was here, he would definitely believe the words of these five black-bellied guys.
And Liu Shihai, who is a good sycophant, wiped the crocodile tears in his eyes, and said to Zhao Xu in a very touching and ashamed tone: "Long live my emperor's compassion for all living beings in the world really makes our courtiers feel ashamed, and the guilt in the hearts of the ministers is like the surging river that stretches endlessly, like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, and it is out of control. Long live my emperor is really an emperor through the ages, an emperor through the ages, long live my emperor, long live long live. ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live-" What can be said and can't be said, what should be said and what shouldn't be said, let Comrade Lao Liu finish speaking, Lu Junyi and the other three can only follow Liu Shihai to prostrate on the ground and shout long live to Zhao Xu for a while.
And Zhao Xu continued to say to the four of them in a compassionate tone: "The four Qing family are really my confidants, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Alas, my compassionate heart really can't bear to suffer in the land of Fusang, so I decided to sell the surplus old rice that my country has accumulated in the treasury at three times the market price when the people of Fuso need it, and directly help the lives of the people of Fuso, and second, the military department also sold 20 and 50 swords and armor to Fusang, so that they can have weapons to resist the invasion of the enemy, whether they have money or no money, they can use weapons, alas, I am really a compassionate person. ”
Mercy? Zhao Xu's words are merciful! If the old rice in the treasury is sold for a fusang, if it has been stored for a long time and the grain is mildewed, the officials of the treasury have to report to the state government, clean up the treasury, use the moldy old grain for ecological agriculture to make fertilizer, and then pile up new grain in the treasury, and sell it to Fusang, you can convert the grain that is not used in the Great Song Dynasty into money and use it for all kinds of production, and the treasury can be supplemented with new stored grain. For those twenty refining and fifty refining weapons and armor, it is true that the daimyo who does not have sufficient funds can quickly replenish the weapons and armor needed by the army, but once the weapons of the twenty refinements collide with the weapons of fifty refinements, then it is obvious that the sword of twenty refinements is very likely to be broken by one blow, and after the defeat, in order to save the decline, or to regain face, the daimyo will definitely buy a large number of weapons and equipment of fifty refinements, and even find the Great Song Dynasty to buy sixty refinements, seventy refinements, eighty refinements, and even one hundred refinements of weapons and equipment. The Daimyo of Fusang annexed, plundered, and mined in large quantities in order to obtain better weapons, while the Great Song Dynasty would continue to send a large amount of military rations and weapons and armor to Fusang, absorbing all the gold and silver gushing out of Fusang, providing a lot of financial support for the future industrial explosion.

At night, the silence of Kyoto Castle is terrible, except for the lights on the entire street, there is no sign of human activity, and the foggy sky does not see a trace of light, and the entire Kyoto Castle is shrouded in this layer of mist.
"Catch the assassins!! Catch the assassins!! Shoot him with arrows!! Shoot him!! ”
In the mansion of the Terrafu Tetsuo, there was a sudden roar of anger, followed by a large number of voices of arresting assassins, and after a short time, the samurai of the Hirai Tetsuo found the body of an assassin with sharp arrows on his body with the blood stains, and through the tattoo on him, it was clearly pointed at Hirafu Sasaki.
